James Toney Vs Roy Jones Signed Ticket Display The Uncivil War From MGM Executive’s Collection

To some Dennis Finfrock was simply the man with the handlebar mustache. But Finfrock helped take boxing in Las Vegas to the next level. As the MGM Grand’s VP of Special Events, Finfrock managed what boxing matches would come to the MGM and also brought in the Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand and countless other show stoppers to the area. After Mike Tyson was released from jail, it was Finfrock who inked him to a $20 million dollar deal which secured Iron Mike’s services at the MGM Grand.
In 1995 the Las Vegas Sun ranked the top 10 Las Vegas sports figures, Finfrock was the runaway choice at No. 1. He was placed above such notables as Bob Arum and Andre Agassi. Now battling Parkinson’s Disease, Finfrock has slowed down from his workaholic ways.
Each of the signatures or match-used mementos was obtained by Finfrock during his days working at the MGM Grand Garden. AMI is proud to present personal treasures from Finfrock’s collection. These have never been offered for public sale until now.

Roy Jones showed the world just how talented he was when he overwhelmed James Toney in their fight Nov. 18, 1994. The upstart dealt Toney a devastating defeat. This display (33" x 41") includes the following mementos from that fateful night: James Toney signed medallion, Roy Jones Jr. signed medallion, official fight program, Jones Jr. signed 8×10 photo inscribed "To Dennis Thanks for everything, New Champ," Jones Jr. signed 4" x 6" photo, fight button and two $1 MGM tokens. Both participants signed an event poster, which is the backdrop.
